Give me a chevy 454 over the poncho 455 anyday. I like big bore engines for SPORTS cars, leave the long strokes for the trucks that don't have good transmissions.
Don't get me wrong, I love poncho motors and have respect for everything GM did back in the day. I just don't find the 455 to be anything special.
It's a shame the LS-6 454 never made in the 70 camaro's, that would have been a rocketship.
The 1970 Chevelle SS with the 450hp 454 was a low 13's at around 105mph. Chew on that a little you camaro haters.
